Fostering Engaged Academic Literacy for Adolescents through Literacy Apprenticeships in the Disciplines
Cynthia Greenleaf argues in this presentation at the International Reading Association that for all students, disciplinary literacy needs to build from metacognitive, inquiry engagements with texts. She describes teacher professional development, therefore, that helps teachers create such learning opportunities, based on their own metacognitive inquiry into their disciplines, texts, reading and discourse practices, student learning, and their own teaching.
